About the game
What you do in a play session
Prepare to dive headfirst into another dark mystery with "The Secret Name," the first Mythos Pack in "The Circle Undone" cycle for Arkham Horror: The Card Game. The plot thickens following previous events, and your quest for answers about a new and dangerous coven in Arkham leads you to unearth ancient secrets. The legend of Keziah, a witch who escaped Salem in the 17th century and whose ghost haunts the old Witch House, becomes your only lead. Get ready to hunt specters from the past and confront unholy forces that will demand new strategies and tools.
This pack brings exciting new additions, especially for your deck-building. Now, some investigator cards are "multi-class," boasting a golden hue and two class icons. This means you can include them in your deck if you have access to either of the indicated classes. But beware: if your investigator only has limited access to one of the classes on a multi-class card, it will consume one of your investigator's limited slots. Nevertheless, the versatility and power of these cards make them a valuable addition to any investigator seeking to unravel Arkham's horrors. Be aware: the game has high language dependency, requiring a full translation to be played comfortably.
